Chula Vista Neck Pain, Back Pain, Joint Pain Solutions

Neck, Back and Joint Pain are some of the most common forms of painful conditions we experience in today's fast paced world. Multiple factors are usually involved as the source of pain, and that's why proper diagnostic testing is essential before beginning any type of treatment program. As Spine Specialists, it is paramount for us to take the "whole body" approach to proper diagnosis and treatment of spinal and joint related pain. Certain systemic conditions must be ruled out, and every potential causative factor must be explored and addressed. That is one of the foundational principles to our success here at the South Coast Spine Center, and it always will be. Symptomatic relief of pain, while important, should never be the ultimate objective in an of itself. In my 30 years of patient care I have found that pursuing optimal health through increased strength, flexibility, coordination and conditioning, with proper nutritional support, positive and healthy mental attitude, and exercise balanced with proper rest and sleep leads to optimal wellness, optimal strength and performance, and of course, "pain free optimal living".

Healed from a Transligamentous Disc Extrusion

We see a wide variety of injuries and conditions here at the South Coast Spine Center. The most severe injuries are related to the intervertebral discs of the spine, ie. disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, which typically cause debilitating, severe back and hip/leg/foot pain, or neck and shoulder/arm/hand pain. Some of these patients do not qualify for our advanced forms of physical medicine and they may require surgical intervention to obtain relief from unbearable pain. However, as surgical intervention should typically be considered as a last resort, some surgical candidates are able to qualify and receive our treatment first, before undergoing surgery. Brialonna Turner is one of those patients. She has shared her story with us and with you our readers, with the desire to instill hope for healing and relief without having to undergo the dangers of "the knife". We are elated for her recovery and are honored to have been given the privilege of serving her. If you or someone you know is suffering from the type of pain and disability experienced by Brialonna, we trust you will find her story inspiring and encouraging, giving you hope for healing and recovery.
